Sixteen (30%) piglets remained bradycardic (defined as HR of <100/min) after 10 min of asphyxia, identified by CBF, ECG and auscultation.Ĭlinicians should be aware of the potential inaccuracy of ECG assessment during asphyxia in newborn infants and should rather rely on assessment using a combination of auscultation, palpation, pulse oximetry and ECG.Īuscultation electrocardiography heart rate neonatal resuscitation newborn. In 23 (43%) piglets, we observed no CBF and no audible heart sounds, while ECG displayed an HR ranging from 15 to 80/min. In 14 (26%) piglets, CBF, ECG and auscultation identified asystole. Overall, 54 piglets were studied with a median (IQR) duration of asphyxia of 325 (200-491) s. Asystole was defined as zero carotid blood flow and was compared with ECG traces and auscultation for heart sounds using a neonatal/infant stethoscope. The piglets were exposed to 30 min normocapnic alveolar hypoxia followed by asphyxia until asystole, achieved by disconnecting the ventilator and clamping the endotracheal tube. This set-up allowed simultaneous monitoring of HR via ECG and carotid blood flow (CBF). Neonatal piglets had the right common carotid artery exposed and enclosed with a real-time ultrasonic flow probe and HR was continuously measured and recorded using ECG. To compare accuracy of ECG with auscultation to assess asystole in asphyxiated piglets. However, a recent case report raised concerns about this technique in the delivery room. The 2015 neonatal resuscitation guidelines added ECG as a recommended method of assessment of an infant's heart rate (HR) when determining the need for resuscitation at birth. ![]()
